The pain in Spain

In the journal notes for his official autobiography, Baggaley claims he was in Barcelona and fighting with the anarchists alongside Hemingway in 1937, and that he lost his arm at the battle of Ebro the following year.

This photo, however, is dated from the summer of ’37 and places him in Finisterre – a tiny fishing village in North West Spain – and tends to support the unpublished account of him losing the arm in a drunken, midnight sardine fishing expedition.
